Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Evaluation of a shoe-integrated travel tracking tool to promote out-of-home participation of people with mild cognitive impairment and collaborative care delivery
1029584
The project aims to maintain, restore, or improve meaningful and safe participation outside the home (e.g., in community or public settings) for people living with mild cognitive impairment or early-stage dementia (PTCLD). The Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5 technology solution consists of a smart insole with location and activity tracking capabilities, allowing PTCLDs and care partners to define personalized safe zones and guidance and assistance protocols. The solution includes a chipset integrated into a shoe insole, a background IoT platform, and a mobile app to enable the user to interact with the device. As part of the project, a dementia-friendly web interface and user experience will be designed, integrated, and iteratively evaluated through a mixed-method case study (n = 8–10 in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, 3–5 months/case, in home and public settings). The project will promote the commercial maturity and relevance of the smart insole solution, foster partnerships between government and communities (with a view to the subsequent TRL 6 project), and generate scientific evidence on the technology and out-of-home participation for PTCLDs and their care ecosystem.
